You will all be assigned to specific teams based on seating arrangements for this workshop where you work on an authentic assignment in groups of 4-6 individuals per round table. Your designated group name will be at the center of each table, for example, Group A, Group B and so on. One laptop configured with Microsoft Office 2010 will be distributed and will be assigned to each table/group for teams to complete an authentic assessment on "Steps to creating a Professional Microsoft Word Document using Mayer's principles of Triarchic Model of cognitive load." Each team must select a team leader, since this person will be in charge of submitting your collaborative assignment near the end of this workshop.

Authentic Assessment :Steps to creating a Professional Microsoft Word Document using Mayer's Triarchic Model of cognitive load
In flipped classroom instruction, students view video lectures at home while in-class activities are devoted to hands on collaborative projects and exercises guided by the teacher. Question is, how would blended learning professors effectively use Prezi presentations and Google hangouts to support flipped classroom instruction? This can be done by constructing effective multimedia messages to meet learner's needs through Dr. Richard Mayer's 12 design principles on active processing. Applications such a Prezi and Google Hangouts allows users to embed multimedia messages such as, screen casting, Powerpoint video presentations or MP3 audio messages. These embedded elements will help to add richness to multimedia messages because people learn better from words and pictures (multimedia method) than from words alone (Mayer, 2009). Consider the following segments covered so far in this workshop and construct a well-designed PowerPoint Presentation video on "Steps to creating a Professional Microsoft Word Document using Mayer's Triarchic Model of cognitive load":
Principles of Dual Coding – Reducing Extraneous processing while fostering Essential and Generative processing
Dr. Richard Mayer's Triarchic Model of 12 Design Principles.
Pre-training involving an on open forum discussion on names and characteristics of key components such as defining and briefly discussing flipped classroom instruction as well as quickly explaining what Richard E. Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning is all about. Also consider the resources used on how to give a professional look to your document and how to convert a PowerPoint presentation into a video .http://www.wikihow.com/Deliver-Effective-PowerPoint-Presentation and http://youtu.be/0t3EqrPQJqg
Going beyond Text-only resources – using Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning.
Using Multimedia Artifacts to support Flipped Classroom instruction.
Learner-Centered learning approaches and the teachers’ role might be changing in this era.
Due Time and Submission Instruction The time allotted for this assignment is 60 minutes and will commence immediately after Dr. Richard Mayer's Triarchic Model of 12 Design Principles. All team leaders must submit his or her team’s PowerPoint Video Presentation file to the “Authentic Assessment Submission” page of this Workshop’s Presentation wiki site. This assignment values 500 points (that is, 50% of your overall grade for this course). Note that 500 Points will be based on individual participation in this workshop. To submit your presentation video, first, click the “Authentic Assessment Submission” tab on the right pane, click the “Edit” button, and then click “File” to add your PowerPoint Video Presentation file “Authentic Assessment Submission" page of this workshop’s wiki site. For step-by-step visual instruction, see the “Technical Support” tab on the right pane. You may also find these instructions at the end of this assignment. Team evaluations must also be submitted privately to me (at ena.smith@waldenu.edu) which values 50 points (or 5% of this assignment), bringing the total value for authentic assessment to 500 points (or 50% of your overall grade)!
Learning Outcomes and Objectives
By successfully completing this assignment participants will:
1)Explain, based on Mayer's (2009) principles how multimedia resources are better than text-only resources.
2)Understand and explain how multimedia artifacts such as prezi presentations and Google hangouts can be used to support flipped classroom instruction.
3)Understand and explain why these multimedia artifacts are considered to be learner-centered approaches to learning.
4)Analyze teachers' roles in student-centered learning environments.
5)Explain the principles of dual coding and how to lower learners' processing overload.
6)Explain how to reach out to a diverse student body, for example, how to meet digital natives' cognitive needs through an appropriate instructional design.
Peer Evaluation - 50 points of the total 500 points:
For each group assignment, complete this peer evaluation for each member of your team, including yourself. Fifty percent of your grade for each collaborative assignment will be the average score of these evaluations. Rate each team member (including yourself) on a scale of 1 to 40 with 40 being highest. Use the team evaluation form attached below to determine the score for each team member. A copy of this form is also located under the rubrics and schedule tab. Use specific scores and not ranges. Comments must be included that explains why you gave your teammates these scores. Your peer assessments will be kept strictly confidential. Therefore, I would suggest that you share this file with me privately via email: ena.smith@waldenu.edu.
How to submit Authentic Assessment to its Appropriate Submission Page Team leaders, please submit your group’s collaborative assignments to the “Authentic Assessment” Submission wiki page. First click the Authentic Assessment submission page tab on the right pane, click the edit button, click file, upload your file and press save. Note that your multimedia presentation will be viewed by the entire workshop. Also, peer evaluation must be sent to me privately via email: ena.smith@waldenu.edu. See the “Technical Support” tab on the right pane for detail instructions on how to submit your Authentic Assessment for all to see.
This collaborative authentic assessment entails exploring material presented from this workshop on the principles surrounding using multimedia tools to improve flipped classroom instruction by means of active processing. Since teachers engaged in flipped classroom instruction are required to know how to present well designed multimedia materials for learners, then to demonstrate that you are able to apply these principles, you will complete this authentic assessment on "Steps to creating a Professional Microsoft Word Document." You may revisit and utilize the following YouTube video that was played during pre-training on “How to Give a Professional Look to Your Document Word 2007”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqbU9KjgYIY
Authentic Activity Tutorial
Each team is required to present a well-designed PowerPoint Presentation video on "Steps to creating a Professional Microsoft Word Document” based active processing and Mayer’s Triarchic principles. This assignment values a total of 500 points of which 50 points of this amount will be based on team ratings. The actual assignment, team evaluation form and graded rubric are as follows.

This will help you to mentally organize information on how to create your multimedia lesson (the authentic assessment) on “Steps to creating a Professional Microsoft Word Document” using Microsoft PowerPoint. Although this site is most fitting, because the instructions contains all elements participants should focus on such as how to use text, graphics, animations and voice. However, certain elements might be misleading, thus, I created the following video to help reduce cognitive processing load you might experience.
